The Stoptech rotors are crazy heavy @ 25+ pounds, I've got to imagine that the stock ones weight about the same. Looks like 2-piece will definitely be the way to go long term to save on unsprung weight.

I'll be installing these on Saturday so I'll have some pics and more accurate weight measurements then.
I have the slotted and drilled Stoptechs, yes they are heavy, but hopefully that means strong and durable :-) I will definitely upgrade to a 2 piece when the time comes, saving a little rotating mass here with definitely help improve acceleration and suspension performance. Lighter wheels and lighter rotors can make a big difference.
